Race on!

17/November @ 9pm

Event details:

Track
Eiger Nordwand


The Eiger Nordwand Short Track is a fictional tarmac circuit based in a real-world location in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland. The circuit is one of four layouts currently existing in the area, all of which are present in Gran Turismo 5. The Eiger Short Course also appeared in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The circuit is a short, highly technical course with a quadruple-hairpin switchback section, seven other tricky corners and a number of significant and severe camber and gradient changes. The course has an overall elevation change of 246ft, more than circuits like Trial Mountain, Suzuka Circuit and Laguna Seca Raceway. Source here.

Race
We'll do a shuffle race. Baloo and I tried this last night and think it'll work well. Expect 3 races of 4 laps each in the official race night.
Cars in shuffle race are auto selected. So no excuses or preference to tuned cars (though mine was obviously slower than Baloo's, no question there ;o)

After race shenanigans
Deep forest, or maybe Apricot Hill? - 'Run what you brung' up to 587pp (we can limit that further if you like).
Car choice: Something mad & bad. Think RUF, or similar. "Cars only a mother could love".

Have fun and see you there!
